“The Fastest, Surest, and Most Practical Way To Write Your Book”

WHO IS DAN POYNTER?

Dan Poynter founded Para Publishing and has published 121 books so far. Dan Poynter has a single mission in life. That is to help people understand how they can go about writing their books in the best possible way. Dan has been featured on CNN and his books have been featured in a wide range of business publications.

Out in the Blue: Letters from Arabia 1937-1940 by Thomas C. Barger

"Less than 8 months after publication, Out in the Blue is the number one best selling hardcover book in Saudi Arabia. It has also been serialized in English within the Kingdom and will soon be serialized in Arabic worldwide. The first edition sold out and it has been reprinted. Believe Dan when he says that you can successfully self publish your own book - he is right."

Flight to Anywhere; A Navigator's Life by Mark Farmer

"Your Self-publishing book guided me through the maze. I'm Grateful."

The Guide to Sonoma County Nurseries by Rita and Michel Ter Sarkissoff.

"Another big fat thank you to Dan Poynter for his talent in bringing out so many self-publishers...how many of us do you suppose there are, now?"

Ralph's Universe / Fantasy / Art / Poetry by Th. Trkstar

"Hello and Thank you Dan! The Self-Publishing Manual 20th Edition has been very valuable and easily read. I use it as a Best reference for those who inquire about publishing information."

The Sculpted Horse by Lynda Sappington

"Thanks, Dan, for your marvelous Self-Publishing book that walked me through the process!"

Dad was a Carpenter: blueprints for a meaningful life by Kenny Kemp

"Over this last Father's Day, we sold 10,000 books in just four weeks! We're on our second printing and Barnes & Noble has picked up the book for the entire country.

The book was re-released this last May (2001) with an initial printing of 50,000 and has been doing well.

Harper was very impressed with my understanding of the publishing trade, and for this I have Dan Poynter to thank: he has been instrumental in getting me up to speed so I can now sit in marketing meetings with Harper executives and contribute good, solid ideas that work.

The best part is that now we have a real budget to work with. Harper has been so pleased with the success of DWAC that they just signed me to a three-book deal with a mid six-figure advance!

Dreams really do come true. Dream the most outrageous thing you can, but when it comes to making it happen, put on your "Realism Hat" and know how the nuts and bolts fit together. Only then does your dream have a chance of success. Thanks, Dan, for everything!"

Memoirs from Normandy Childhood, War a by Armand Idrac

"As a former French teacher, I translated my good friend's French memoirs, and then we published them in the original language, as well. Dan Poynter's book was my bible in publishing this book"

Scarred by Scandal ~ Redeemed by Love / the Triumph of an Unmarried Mother by Gloria DeLaTorre-Wycoff

"Dan Poynter's books: "Self-Publishing Manual" and "Successful Nonfiction" have been constant, reliable guides throughout the process of writing, self-publishing and now marketing this book."

Online Marketing Handbook by Daniel Janal

"Thanks a MILLION, Dan for your book "The Self-Publishing Manual". It helped to make my dreams of writing a book a reality (and a lot easier than I ever dreamt). We sold out of our 1st run inside of two months!!"

A Simple, Detailed, Action Plan To Write, Publish, And Promote Your Book…
And Keep Most Of The Money For Yourself

Did you know that the AVERAGE Small Self Publisher earns over $400,000 per year? In fact, a survey conducted by Brenner Information group indicated that half of the "high income" small publishers, earned over $1 million (working out of their home offices in 1997.)

It’s been estimated by the Gallup Organization that 82% of people have a book inside them. My estimate is that 30% are ready to do something about it. You could be one of them.

Authors are held in very high esteem because they’re perceived to be experts. They research, compile lots of information, interview people and somehow get all of that information put into a book… a book that then gets sold all over the world.

Imagine what it would be like to be revered by your family, friends and thousands of people you don’t even know, because you’re a published author. Prestigious isn’t it?

But the sad thing is… most people die with their book still inside them.

It’s not because they didn’t have the time, lacked the subject matter expertise or their topic wasn’t interesting. It’s because they didn’t have a plan or know “how” to do it. Not knowing “how” to do something can lead to all sorts of false assumptions that end up becoming reasons why you didn’t get it done, or even worse – not even trying.

Why not invest in yourself?

A book is an investment. It’s an investment in your time, your manuscript, your business, and the rest of your life – your future. You see, people who invest in themselves, and self-publish their book... make more money, get to press sooner, and keep control of their book.

Now when I say invest in your book, I’m not talking about selling out to a publisher. Anybody can do that. That’s not the type of investment I’m talking about.

In fact if you just sell out to a publisher, you’ll never be able to do half of what I’ll teach you to do. Here’s why.

What I’ll teach you is much more valuable than just getting your book printed.

What I’m talking about is getting an “education” in all facets of publishing... from thinking and planning, to writing, to producing, and then promoting your book. I’ll show how you can make more money and turn your book into a business that will provide you with a “river of cash” for the rest of your life. (I’m talking about controlling your destiny.)

There is no shortage of companies who are willing to take your money and sell you their publishing services to help you get a book in print. And yes, you do want to get your book in print. But…

There’s a right way and a wrong way to get your book published.

That is... if you want to keep most of the money for yourself.

So let’s see what your choices are.

You could go the route of shipping your manuscript to publisher after publisher to see if there’s anyone out there willing to accept it. That could take several years.

Once you find a publisher who does accept your work, you’re looking at another 18 months from the time they accept it until it’s published. So, at that point you’re looking at several years to get your book published from the time you completed your manuscript.

Can you afford to wait that long to get into print? What will happen to the market for your book over that time period? How much money would you be leaving on the table?

There’s something else you need to know about.

Once you turn your manuscript over to a publisher - you lose control. Sometimes they decide to “save money” by leaving out some illustrations. Lot’s of times they’ll change the title and lose the whole theme of your book.

You could find a company to publish your book on demand (POD). While your up-front costs are low, you can't make any money producing one book at a time.

Or, you could…

self-publish... and take control of your own future.

I’ll teach you how to write, produce, and promote your book – all at the same time. Because, like I said, self-publishers make more money, get to press sooner, and keep control of their book.

So not only will you get an “education” in all facets of publishing, you’ll keep all the money that comes in... and that my friend... is only the beginning!

Now isn’t that what you really want?

You don’t even have to leave the house.

You’ll learn it all in 14 fact filled segments on my brand new M2S (Multi-Media Seminar) It’s called Building Your Future. By the way, if you’ve never heard of an M2S (Multi-Media Seminar), it’s a new technology that enables me to teach you, one-on-one, in the comfort of your home or office, right over your computer.

Don’t just write a book – Build a business

One of the biggest problems people have in writing their book is getting organized. This can lead to procrastination and excuses which take you away from what you really want. I’ll teach you a secret to getting organized... I’ll give you the road map. All you have to do is follow the directions.

After you get organized, if you’re like a lot of writers, you may experience the dreaded “writers block”. You don’t want that to happen because it’ll take the wind out of your sails. You’ll lose momentum. In Building Your Future, you’ll learn how to avoid “writers block” and write faster than you ever imagined.

You’ve probably heard the phrase “multiple streams of income”. Most of the time it means having several different businesses that are providing you with separate streams of cash flow. In Building Your Future you’ll learn how to create multiple streams of income with one book so you don’t have to worry about creating several different businesses. So you’re not just writing a book… you’re building a business.

The Godfather of Books

Dan Poynter is an author of more than 120 books, and has been a publisher since 1969.

You might call him an evangelist for books, an ombudsman for authors, an advocate for publishers and the godfather to thousands of successfully-published books.

His seminars have been featured on CNN, and his books have been pictured in The Wall Street Journal and his story has been told in US News & World Report. The media comes to Dan because he's the leading authority on book publishing.

Dan travels more than 4,000 miles each week to share, inspire and empower writers, publishers and professional speakers through keynotes and seminars.

Some of his books are Writing Nonfiction, The Self-Publishing Manual, The Skydiver's Handbook, The Expert Witness Handbook and The Older Cat.

Dan Poynter also shows people how to make a difference while making a living by coaching them on the writing, publishing and promoting of their book.

Dan has turned thousands of people into successful authors. His mission is to see that people do not die with a book still inside them.

I'M AN EDUCATOR

I don’t make my money by selling publishing, printing or promotional services. Very few people do what I do. I travel each week to share my experience and empower other writers and publishers. Everything I teach is self generated. So if you listen to me, you’ll learn how to make MUCH more money than by buying services here and there just to get your book in print.

Online Marketing Handbook by Daniel Janal

"Dan Poynter's seminars are fantastic! He presents so many ideas that are practical and easy to implement. I can't imagine publishing my first book, "How to Publicize High Tech Products and Services," without Dan's books. With my books that are published by traditional publishers, I use Dan's resources to supplement their marketing efforts. Thanks, Dan!"

14 fact filled segments in easy to use, Multimedia seminar format, teaching you one-on-one, in the comfort of your home or office, right over your computer.
Over 150 PowerPoint slides loaded with information that you can use immediately to get started building your self-publishing empire
Lists of reputable sources and suppliers that would take you years to compile on your own

It’s about information

Where can you get your hands on this fabulous program? Before I answer that let me give you another idea worth considering.

In June of 2003, The Wall St. Journal stated that information is the basis for more than half of the gross domestic product of the United States. If you really want to make the most of becoming a published author...Don’t think of yourself as a writer. Think of yourself as an information provider.

Your printed book is the foundation of your publishing business, of your everyday business, and the rest of your life.

So here it is. A Simple, Detailed, Action Plan To Write, Self-Publish, And Promote Your Book… And Keep Most Of The Money For Yourself.

Building Your Future will not only help you become a self-publisher, you’ll make more money, get to press sooner, and keep control of your book.

You’ll learn the secrets of how to plan and research your book, find the very best material, and write your book. You’ll discover the various types of books and how to get the most value from your “work”. And finally, the secrets to promoting your book and the “little-known best places” to sell it.

So if you want to build a business that will sustain you for the rest of your life – not just write a book, there’s only one way. Building Your Future on M2S (Multi-media Seminar).

If you had to gather up all of this information and insight found in this seminar, it would probably cost you well over $1,000. That doesn’t even include your time which I know would take you years. The time saved alone would suggest a price tag of at least $595... and no less than $495. But, remember what I told you earlier?

And for that reason, Building Your Future is, less expensive than an airline ticket, yours for only $249.

You could go to a provider of services and spend hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars and end up with what amounts to a large printing bill. You’ll have a book in print alright... but you still won’t have the knowledge of how to turn your book into a life sustaining business.

Don't forget, I provide you with a copywriting tool to help you write the back cover to help sell your book.
